What Garry Shandling’s Jewish Comedy Teaches About Purim

This week of learning is sponsored by Zachary Schreiber in honor of Tova Bashevkin, because behind every great man is an even greater woman.

In this special Purim episode of the 18Forty Podcast, David Bashevkin speaks about the late, great comedian Garry Shandling in honor of his 10th yahrzeit, which is this Purim.

In this episode we discuss:

• What does pop culture tell us about the Torah of our time?
• What can Garry Shalndling teach us about Purim?
• What does it mean to see divinity and significance within one another? 

Tune in for a conversation about how we find joy and inspiration in this impossible life.
